From North Warren.

BY special request Mr.. n. +. frog
den and wife, with your correspon-
dent and wife, paid Mr.. William Gift
ford and wife a visit on last Sunday
evening. Mr.. Clifford was SO years
old on that day, and gave a hearty
reception in the way of a birthday
dinner, which was enjoyable indeed
to those who love good things. Mr..
Clifford has only been from Iowa
some two years, but knows how to
extend that courtesy and hospitality
which will make a southerner feel at
home.
Mr.. Abner Womack made sale of
his personal effects last Saturday, with
the view of moving to Texas in few

Several of our young ladies and
gentlemen visited our county aims
house on last Sunday in search of a
fortune teller-it might be that they
will get there soon enough without
being in such a rush-but it was only
a little pleasure the girls and boys
wanted after all, l guess.

lean term applied to Il warm, pleas
ant spell of weather occurring usual
ly late in autumn, during which il
was the custom of the Indians to &C
on long hunts to supply themselves
with flesh Of wild animals for winter
food. 1t was frequently the custom
of Indians during this period to burr
over large areas of wooded country
and the peculiar haziness of the at
mosphere was thought to be due t.
the smoke arising therefrom, but it i
known now that this haziness is du'
to atmospheric influences, and not t.
smoke. The scientific causes which
produce it would be an interesting
topic for the City School to take VI
and investigate for one Of its morning
exercises. ED. STANDARD.

Steady application is what counts
in any business, especially in farming,
for in this employment a day or an
hour wasted il usually more than loss
of time, for it is opportunity gone.

Quantities of hay and corn fodder

correctly.

O ~ Sanday party b gentIenlen

On last Sunday a party of gentlemen
consisting Of @. q. Crenshaw, l.. II.
Weatherby and E. S. Low, of Nays
Vile, Mo, arrived in Phiihpsourg, and
they are still here at this writing. We
are informed that these gentlemen are
wealthy, and that they desire to invest
q good many thousands of dollars in
and near Philipsburg. Mr.. Lowe IS a
brother of NJ. A. Low, the President of
the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska Rail
road Company (knOwn as the Rock Is
land) and the presumption is very
strong that he knows what the future
movements of the Rock Island will be.
The gentlemen have offered 500 per
acre for two or three tracts of land
close to town, but the owners refused
to sell even at that price. Mr.. Low
and party say the land is high, but they
are quite DESTROYS OF securing some.
One hundred dollars per acre is 'away
ups" and the HERALD feels like they
ought to be able to buy all the land
they want at that price. The relation
ship of these gentlemen to the Rock Is
land is such that we are desIrOus OF
seeing them get a foot hold in Phillips
burg. They are men who, if interested
in our town and county, will help
boom them. Let property holders put
q reasonable price on their property
and sell these gentlemen what lands
and lots they want. Phillipsburg's
boom will not continue long if land and
lot owners refuse to sell to people who
come in, and who have the money to
pay and the disposition to pay fair
price.

type the above named gentlemen offer

missioners have contracted to sell the

TRIBES or LITTLE FOLKS.
Tho Three Most Notable Communi,ie. ~
Dwarfs In Africa.

A while ago Mr.. Grenfcll Of the Congo
missions encountered on the Bosaii nvcr,
south Of the Congo, the Batwa dwasiS
whom Stanley mentions in The Dark
Continent. though Stanley did no' zee
them. Grenfcll says these little people
exist over u large extent of country, their
villages being scattered here and there
among other tribes. Wissman and pogye
also met them a few years ago in their
journey TO Nyangwe.
II was long supposed that the story Of
Herodotus about the pigmies Of Africa
was mythical. hut within the past twenty
years abundant evidence has accumulated
of the existence Of a number of tribes Of
curious little folks in equatorial Africa.
The chief among these tribes are the
Aka, whom Schweinfurth found north
west of Albert Nyassa; the Olongo. dis
covered by Du Chaillu in West Africa,
southeast Of Gaboon, and the Batwa
south If Congo.
These little people range in height from
4 feet , inches to about 4 feet s inches.
They are intellectually as well rs physic-
ally inferior to the other tribes of Africa.
They are perhaps nearer the brute king
dom than any other human beings. The
Obongo. for instance. veal no senIblance
of clothing: make no huts except 10 bend
over and fasten to the ground the tops Of
three or four young trees, which they
cover with leaves; poSseSs no arts except
the making Of bows and arrows. and do
not till the soil. They live ON the smaller
game of the forest, aud on nuts and Ter.
ries. They regard the leopard, which
now and then makes IA meal Of one Of
them. as their deadliest enemy. They
live only a few days or weeks in N
place. burying themselves in some other
part Of the interminablc woods rs soon It's
the mnts and other food supplies near
their camp begin to grow scarce.
When Schweinfurth first met the Aka
dwarfs he found himself surrounded by
what he supposed was a crowd Of impu-
dent boys. There were several hundred
of them. and he soon found that they
Were yeritable dwarfs, and that their
tribe probably numbered several thousand
souls. One Of these dwarfs was taken 10
Italy a few years ago, was taught to
read, and excited much interest among
scientific men. There are other tribes Of
dwarfs in Abyssinia and also in Somali-
land. New York sun.
